Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone Phase Shifter Pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone Phase Shifter Pedal brings back the magic of the 1970s with a few modern upgrades that make it an essential tool for today’s guitarists. This pedal captures the lush, sweeping tones of the original Bad Stone phase shifter while offering enhancements that suit contemporary musical needs. Whether you're looking to achieve a classic "cocked wah" sound or create deep, psychedelic swooshes, this phase shifter delivers all of it. Its six-stage phase shifting offers a broad range of modulation effects, while the manual feedback control and Auto/Manual switch allow for detailed tonal exploration. The Bad Stone Phase Shifter is a versatile and dynamic effect that can be used in countless musical contexts, from slow, smooth modulations to rapid, warbly phase effects.

Classic Phase Shifting with Modern Tweaks
The Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone is not just a vintage reissue; it is a thoughtful update of the 1970s original. While the pedal keeps the six-stage phase shifting that defined its classic sound, it also introduces a lower frequency range that gives you even more sonic possibilities. The enhanced low-end response makes it ideal for both guitarists and bass players, providing a thicker, richer phase shift that works well with a wide array of musical styles. Whether you're using it for subtle modulation or extreme phase shifting, the Bad Stone offers a distinctive, musically useful effect that’s perfect for everything from funk grooves to experimental rock.

Manual and Auto Modes for Full Control
One of the standout features of the Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone Phase Shifter is the ability to toggle between manual and auto modes. In manual mode, the phase shift can be adjusted by hand, allowing you to dial in a custom "cocked wah" effect or fine-tune the sound to your exact preference. The auto mode, on the other hand, automatically controls the phase shift, providing you with the classic, sweeping, automatic phase tones that are a hallmark of this pedal. The Auto/Manual switch gives you full creative control over your sound, making it easy to move between dynamic, preset tones and fully customized shifts.

Feedback Control for Further Sound Shaping
Another key feature of the Bad Stone Phase Shifter is its manual feedback control. This allows you to adjust the depth and intensity of the phase shifting effect, letting you find the perfect balance for your performance. Whether you want to add more pronounced movement to your tone or dial back the intensity for a more subtle effect, the feedback control gives you the flexibility to shape the sound to your exact liking. This makes the Bad Stone a highly adaptable phase shifter, capable of producing everything from gentle, ethereal modulations to aggressive, sharp-phase tones.

True Bypass for Clean Signal Integrity
The Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone is designed with true bypass switching, ensuring that your dry signal remains pure and unaffected when the pedal is not engaged. This is particularly important for guitarists who want to maintain their instrument’s natural tone without any coloration when the effect is turned off. The true bypass feature guarantees that the phase shifter will only influence your sound when you want it to, providing maximum signal integrity during your performances.
